Jumbo Pictures was founded by Jim Jinkins in 1987 to produce the episodes of Doug; the very first Nicktoon.
In 1996, Jinkins sold the company, and the rights to Doug with it, to The Walt Disney Company. The company continued operations until the cancellation of the Playhouse Disney cartoon series PB&J Otter in 2000. In 2001, Jinkins formed a new production company, Cartoon Pizza.

Famous quotes containing the words jumbo and/or pictures:
“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like they’re not worth much, just to prove a photographer’s point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin’ their nose or yawning. It’s so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
